Note: A Windows 8.1 version of bootmgr is required to be in the \_ISO\e2b\grub\DPMS\NTBOOT.MOD folder (the Make_E2B.exe utility will try to add it automatically). E2B will warn you if it is missing or it is not a compatible version. You can obtain the correct version from inside a Microsoft Windows 8.1 installation ISO file. You can instead run "\_ISO\docs\Make_E2B_USB_Drive\Add_Bootmgr_to_E2B_drives.cmd" to add the correct version of bootmgr to your E2B drives (requires internet access).

Tip: Make a .txt file using \_ISO\TXT_Maker.exe for your .VHD or .WIM file - you can tick 'Only display if 64-bit' if it is a 64-bit OS so that it will not be listed in the E2B menu on 32-bit systems.

UEFI

For UEFI-booting of VHD and WIM files, you must make a FAT32 .imgPTN file which contains all the required UEFI boot files and BCD file. A 2nd partition image can contain the large (>4GB) VHD or WIM file (on an NTFS partition).

Must use Fixed Disk (or later Win10 OS VHD/WIM which will work with either type)
